You’ve got to give this SD southpaw a hand here….as he’s yielded a homer and now a walk to start thisv9th frame….sweet!
There’s an interesting stat….the Cards are 18-6 when striking out fewer than 10 times in a game and 4-9….soon to be 4-10 when whiffing 10 or more times. Solution: Trade DeJong and problem solved…. and our Birds win it all.
Gant has been respectable. 4-2 Pads moving along to the 7th. Looks like no Mercy Rule enactment today, Cardinals2016……much to the dismay of the San Diego faithful in attendance here this afternoon.
Brothers for our Birds???? How could I forget them!!! The Alou Bros….sweet entry, Carioca!!! With all 3 starting in the outfield for the Giants. Talk about brotherly love!!! They should all 3 should have been with Philadelphia.
I think you have the Perry brothers mixed up, Euro. I’m almost positive it was Jim who nohit us in SF with Ray Washburn coming right back the next day and returning the favor.
I’m pretty sure I nailed Euro’s trivia question, Cardinals2016. I’d stake my left pinkie on it….not my right one though
What an era for baseball brothers it was. We had the aforementioned Niekro and Perry brothers. You also had the Aaron bros…..the Ripken brothers and father 3-way connection. I think there was more….the Bells….no I think Gus came well before his son, Buddy, who came well before his son, David.
Let’s hope SD does not have to employ the Mercy Rule, Cardinals2016! We still have hope.
Now Cordero uncorks a liner to left plating yet another tally making it 4-0 Bad guys. Can’t give up yet though.
I think a few short relief stints should be in the cards for Waino before he’s flipped the ball in inning #1…..at least for awhile.
If we escape with only 2 runs being tallied, I’ll claim that as not being so bad. Have one more out to get…..get em Gant!
Phil Niekro…..there’s a name out of the past. Phil was much better than his younger brother Joe. As Gaylord was to his younger brother Jim from the same era. Welcome aboard, CardsRedSox4Ever.
Hilarious stuff, Colhusker!!!
But what is not hilarious is this bases load pickle that Waino finds himself in.
Ha! No the Orioles did run amuck from the new unwritten law of ML baseball….the MR or Mercy Rule as Cardinals2016 refers to it.
Oh….by getting the scorekeeper to cheat for you by tacking on a point. You got me there, Cardinals2016……guess I was thinking it was 17-3. Thanks for the good catch, Cardinals2016.
